puffing right up to the top and its ride-
er is in no wise affected with fatigue
in the task of making the ascent.
Fournier is in deadly earnest in his
determination to attain a speed of 45
miles an hour. He bas made a series
of tests with his antamobile that show
that, given a straight, smooth track
and» the machine working at•forced
draught, the express train will find the
petroleum tricyclea dangerous rival ill

In one of his campaigns, Frederick
the Great of Prussia, to prevent his
whereabouts from being betrayed to
the enemy, ordered all lights to be ex-

pena•Ity of disobedience was to be death.
The king occasionally passed -through
camp a•t night to ascertain wheth-

words: "Before this letter reaches your
hands I shall have been 'shot for di-

The sentence was harsh, but the
